Belle's Journey

Rob Bierregaard will describe the science of his satellite tracking studies of Osprey migration and what’s been learned about how naive Ospreys find their way to South America and back—without a map! Rob and Executive Director Iain MacLeod have worked together for several years, satellite tagging Ospreys in New Hampshire. They also teach a class called Raptor Rapture on National Audubon’s Hog Island off the coast of Maine. Rob will also chronicle his own journey from the day someone suggested he write a kids’ book about Belle, one of his Ospreys, to having the book in his hands.
